An amateur astronomer reports that on November 5, 2005, between 6:41 p.m. and 6:45 p.m., he saw two very bright points located 10° to the East above the horizon. These two white balls had the size and magnitude of Mars (very visible at that time of year). Their brightness gradually and rapidly decreased until they disappeared completely. The available data are contradictory (fixed phenomena and very rapidly moving ones, observation duration poorly defined between 30 seconds and 5 minutes) and do not allow a thorough investigation. The strangeness level is low (it could be an atmospheric reentry, but the imprecise duration data do not allow confirming this). No element on the sky chart allows identifying this phenomenon, which is classified as C.
